WarDamn2010

The play that comes to mind happened with 10 seconds remaining in the 3rd quarter. Looks like the LT blocks the wrong defender and leaves the guard on an island and super confused...ends in the easiest sack that DE ever got.

Anymore insight on this topic? If this could finally be the straw that broke the camel's back for Jacobs, I'd take it. I heard where Louisville dismissed their athletic director over something similar, but I have literally zero knowledge of this situation and couldn't really care any less about basketball, so I'm not entirely sure if those situations are related.

With all of the stressing out some are doing over the whole DC situation, I thought this might be enjoyed. So laugh away and thank God that no matter how the state of AU football, you will never be a part of this group. http://www.homesnacks.net/if-youre-from-alabama-this-will-be-the-funniest-thing-you-see-all-day-guaranteed-2-123936/

Where should we be though?Because in the last decade AU is 2-8 vs UGA, 3-7 vs LSU, 4-6 vs Arky, 4-6 vs UAT. So where the hell "should" we be in the next decade? Read that how you will, but AU is one of the 15 winningest programs of all time. That's where we should be. There is no reason for the records that you listed. That's pathetic. 2010 and 2013 are where we should be. Contending for something and at the very least, being competitive in EVERY game is where we should be. All of the coaching turnover, imo, has made that nearly impossible.

I think so long as he wins 6 or more, he SHOULD be ok. If he can't take us to a bowl game though, I'd say it's over for him.

I think a six-win season ends his tenure. I think you're looking at a minimum of 8 wins, and at least one of those needs to be against UGA or Bama. Mine is likewise speculating, but I just don't see any scenario outside of some massive rash of injuries where we go 6-6 and he stays. Man. That's a pretty warm seat indeed. Hopefully we don't have to find out the exact number it will take but we shall see.

Sorry to disagree 24 but I can assure you Gus is on a very hot. Just out of curiosity, how many games would you assume he needs to win in 2016 to keep his job? Seems like another 6 win season might allow him one more year. Anything less than that and he's gone. But, that is pure speculation, as I am in no way in the know.

I believe you and I are of a like mind. I am fine with having Lance on staff to coach linebackers. Actually, couldn't be happier. However, promoting him to DC is absurd. We would be better off poaching a proven DC from a small school imo.

Yep. If we have to promote Lance, then that shows how we look on a national scale. Like a dumpster fire apparently. If a coach is not willing to leave one school and go to his alma mater where his salary will be doubled, we've got issues going on that need to be addressed. JJ shouldv'e been fired before Chizik was let go. If we bring in LT, here's how I see it playing out: Defense is more of the same, minus the improvement of the latter half of this season. We win 6 games max and the entire staff is let go...again. Then we form a group of respected Auburn officials, boosters, and alumni to search for a coach. Being that money is "of no concern", we go out and hire Rhett Lashlee as head coach because he is an "Auburn man". Auburn football plummets into an abyss and we become the mississippi state of old. Just a ray of sunshine you are. Beaming, no doubt. Believe me, I'd love to eat crow, but the good ole boy system at AU sickens me. It's always the same thing, year after year. The constant DC turnover has got to stop, as I believe it has a direct correlation to the HC turnover, which certainly has an affect on the program. We need to hire someone who is proven, but will be loyal and hang around for a number of years. Promoting LT, imo, is not the answer we need. It's a bit of an anecdote, but my cousin and I once put a canoe in the river and hopped in. Then, water started spraying up through a hole in the bottom. So, my cousin plugged it with gum and it held...for a little while. Same principle applies.

If we promote LT to defensive coordinator, that's gonna look really bad on AU. And I'm afraid AU will look really bad on the field. One of my bammer friends was actually hoping he would get removed from the Alabama staff and voila, he shows up at Auburn. He's done well recruiting but his on-field product has done absolutely nothing to warrant such a promotion. Granted, the crop of defensive coordinators is not too great this year, LT is a total desperation move. If this happens, and I hope I'm wrong, it probably starts the beginning of the end for this staff as well. Coaching turnover has got to be slowed down at AU before we turn into TN and it takes us a decade to get back to where we should be.

Throw the bank at Ed Orgeron. If only, if only.

That could be said about any team though unfortunately. Yeah, injuries have plagued us and continued to do so. However, the first half against Louisville was pretty lackluster and we were pretty healthy. Unfortunately, it seems that we just lack the ability to create plays in critical times, healthy or not.

They're certainly not the greatest but I don't believe they're the worst. I actually know they're not bc a fellow by the name of Jake Holland was a lb at AU just a few short years ago.

That passing D is impressive. Get him some run stuffers and UNC will be a force
